Tennessee Titans WRs need to step up against the New England Patriots

The Tennessee titans are preparing for their Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots, where the team could see the return of second-year quarterback Will Levis.

While Levis could be back on the field for the Titans, his receivers may look a little different than when he was last on the field.

Since Levis last played in Week 6, the Titans traded DeAndre Hopkins and placed Treylon Burks on injured reserve. The Titans have also seen Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley are struggling with injuries and both are doubtful for this weekend’s match.

This means that the Titans will have to rely on some unsuspecting players for their matchup against the Patriots.

Among those players is fifth-year pro Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who leads the team with three touchdowns. He is the only pass catcher on the team with multiple scores this season, making him one of the most consistent players on the roster.

He also wants to reach 100 career receptions after finishing with 99 last game.

‘I just try to take advantage of the opportunities that come my way’Westbrook-Ikhine said through team reporter Jim Wyatt. “There’s some plays where it’s planned and I know it’s coming, and some where you’re just trying to make something happen. So hopefully we can keep that going. At the end of the day, I just want to help this team win.” “

Another player who could be called upon is sixth-round rookie Jha’Quan Jackson.

Jackson, 24, is yet to catch this season, but he could be in line for more work as Boyd and Ridley could miss the game.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it appears the Titans are at the bottom of the depth chart for some production for their Week 9 game.
